   The US and Europe are growing alarmed that, having been denied access to the latest technologies for producing the most advanced chips, China is now using older technologies to produce less advanced chips.

   Judging from this story the US and Europe are not very bright.
   
   Still, China will eventually be able to make up for losing access to ASML. Probably have the plans, just need to build the factories to build the parts to build the machines to build the parts to build the Lithographs.

     @deprecated_ii @Aether this is actually the bigger thing. If you aren't doing a big dumb capitalism, you can get quite a lot done with a decade old chips, especially when that something is bombs and radars.

     @Aether we stopped them using new chips... and they used le old chips?
     
     maybe the chinks will finally give me something cool like a 2 GHz Z80. but probably not

     @sickburnbro @deprecated_ii The US has been proven to have massively underestimated the power of 40nm chips the Russians are currently using. Sure it is not as powerful as a 7nm the US are using in bombs.
     
     But do you really need the latest most costly chip in munitions?
